If you were to ask Gao Pragmatic what his first thoughts were about Luo Yuan's whimsical plan, he would probably be speechless. I wonder if Luo Yuan had some associations with the historical status of Yusheng City, so he subconsciously wanted to put it into the project.
He was directly brought under the rule of Jinghua, and for this reason, he even did not hesitate to let his father's unborn bastard play a Japanese-style surname inheritance.
Why does Tamana Castle make people have "certain associations"? The answer is simple. At this time, Tamana Castle actually had a name that was a hundred times louder: Kamakura.
What word is usually associated with the place name Kamakura? There are probably two: Kamakura Shogunate and Kamakura Official Office.
Everyone knows that the shogunate refers to an agency that rules Japan. This agency empties the emperor's court and is all controlled by samurai. It is similar to a military government. The second shogunate in Japan, the Muromachi shogunate, is Kamakura.
The second shogunate after the fall of the shogunate.
At the end of the Kamakura shogunate, the power of the shogun's retainers, the "royal family", weakened, and Emperor Go-Daigo launched a movement to overthrow the shogunate. Many samurai joined in and overthrew the Kamakura shogunate.
However, the "Kenbu New Deal" implemented by Emperor Go-Daigo after regaining power turned out to be perverse, which caused many samurai who were dissatisfied with the court to gather around the original hero of the fall, Ashikaga Takauji, and eventually supported another royal family as the emperor, establishing the
The Muromachi Shogunate.
Emperor Go-Daigo, who was ousted from the throne, had to flee to Yoshino in Yamato Province and established a stronghold, claiming that Ashikaga Takauji and others were treason, and that the emperor supported by the samurai was a "pseudo dynasty". Later, this
The Pseudo Dynasty became the Northern Dynasty, and the place where Emperor Go-Daigo lived naturally became the Southern Dynasty. At this time, Japan entered the Southern and Northern Dynasties period.
The Northern and Southern Dynasties lasted for decades, and it was not until the death of Emperor Go-Daigo, Ashikaga Takauji and others that they were unified under the hands of Ashikaga Yoshimitsu, the third shogun of the Muromachi shogunate.
However, although the Muromachi shogunate unified Japan, the shogunate was essentially a joint government headed by the shogun, with the Ashikaga clan and strong guardians from various places. Because of the promulgation and implementation of shogunate laws such as the "Kenbu Shiki",
Later generations cannot deny that the Muromachi Shogunate was a unified regime, although it is difficult for most Chinese people to understand why the truly "feudal" systems in Japan and Western Europe have existed for a long time - China's "feudal" is actually the same as "feudal"
The original meaning of the word is very different, because its centralization is very powerful.
Under the hands of the third Muromachi shogun Ashikaga Yoshimitsu and the three subsequent shoguns, the autocratic system of the shogunate developed. However, during the reign of the sixth shogun Ashikaga Yoshitsune, the Muromachi shogunate flourished and declined, and various guardians
They were divided into many factions and fought endlessly. In the end, due to the general's improper handling, the "Cargill Rebellion" was triggered. The shogun Ashikaga Yoshitsune was assassinated by the powerful guardian Akamatsu Mitsuyo.
After that, young shoguns succeeded to the throne, causing the Muromachi shogunate to decline and enter the Warring States Period. Finally, it survived for nearly a hundred years and perished.
However, there is no need to talk about Japan’s Warring States Period in detail here. The topic we want to talk about here revolves around “Kamakura”.
The founder of the Kamakura shogunate was the famous Minamoto Yoritomo. Later, when Japanese samurai families discussed their family status, many famous figures had "Minamoto Courtier So-and-so" in their titles. Most of the "Minamoto Courtier" characters had the character "Minamoto" in their titles.
It has something to do with General Minamoto Yoritomo.
After Minamoto Yoritomo eliminated the Taira clan, he became the number one figure influencing Japan's political situation. However, he did not take over the Kyoto court, but devoted himself to establishing and consolidating his own political power in Kanto. During the civil war, he determined that Kamakura (later Kanagawa) was in a dangerous situation.
Southeast of the county) is the base area.
About one hundred and forty years later, the Kamakura shogunate was replaced by the Muromachi shogunate. At the beginning of the establishment of the Muromachi shogunate, because the Muromachi shogunate was established in Kyoto, considering the importance of Kanto, a bureau was established in Kamakura in Kanto to manage Kanto.
The "Kwantung Administrative Service" of the Ten Kingdoms.
The first Kanto governor was Ashikaga Yoshikata, the son of the first shogun of the Muromachi shogunate and later the second shogun of the Muromachi shogunate. After Ashikaga Takauji's younger brother, Ashikaga Naoyoshi, lost power in the shogunate, Ashikaga Yoshihan Raku replaced Ashikaga Naoyoshi in the shogunate.
The position of the shogunate, and Ashikaga Motoji, the younger brother of Ashikaga Yoshiki, went to Kanto as the new Kanto governor. This Ashikaga Motoji was the ancestor of the Ashikaga family in Kanto later.
During the period of the third shogun Ashikaga Yoshimitsu, the powerful Ashikaga Yoshimitsu began to call himself "Kikata", and the Kanto Ashikaga family followed suit and called themselves Kōkata. From then on, "Kanto Kōkata" was born. Of course,
His official position in the Muromachi Shogunate is still "Kanto Governor".
There are different opinions on the meaning of the word "Kongfang" in later generations. From the perspective of the Chinese cultural heritage that Japan has received, the meaning of "Kongfang" may be somewhat similar to the "official family" in the Zhao and Song Dynasties. The leader of the Ashikaga family
Calling themselves "Gongfang" is like someone calling themselves "Guanjia" in China. Basically, they don't take the imperial court seriously at all.
In the early days of Ashikaga Takauji's establishment of the Kanto Governor, he also established a Kanto deacon, similar to the deacon (i.e. governor) of the shogunate. As the adjutant of the Kanto Governor, the direct descendants of the Uesugi family, the Yamauchi Uesugi family and the commoner Inugaku Uesugi family took turns to serve.
.
Since the Kanto Governor overrode and upgraded to the Kanto Official Government, the Kanto Deacon was naturally upgraded to the "Kanto Governor". The base area where the Kanto Governor governs Kanto is Kamakura, and it is also like the shogunate in Kyoto.
There are also political offices, service offices, inquiry offices and other institutions.
Among them, the Chief of the Waiting Room is hereditary from the Chiba clan, a famous family in Kanto. The Kamakura Prefecture also imitated the "three tubes and four positions" of the shogunate, combining the Chiba clan with the Oyama clan, Naganuma clan, Yuki clan, Satake clan, and Oda clan.
, the Utsunomiya clan, and the eight famous families of the Nasu clan are collectively known as the "Bando Eight Houses" - which roughly means the Eight Generals of Kanto.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! However, the true Kanto leadership was actually passed down to only four generations. During the period of the fourth Ashikaga Mochi clan, the Kanto leadership was attacked by the Muromachi shogunate and was defeated and died.
.
On the eve of the Warring States Period, Ashikaga Shigei, the son of the Ashikaga Mochi clan, returned to Kamakura and took up the post of governor of the Kanto region. However, he had many conflicts with the deacon Uesugi clan due to the murder of his father, which eventually led to the Great Rebellion in Kotoku. Ashikaga Shigei had to flee to his supporters.
More Koga resists the Uesugi clan.
During the Warring States Period, the Kanto Ashikaga family's stronghold was changed from Kamakura to Furukawa, so they were also called "Furukawa Lords". Since then, Kamakura's status has gradually declined, and people began to call the newly built Tamana Castle here.
This was originally a very important political center.
Precisely because of the glorious history of Kamakura and its political connotations, Luo Yuan speculated based on some of the tasks Gao Pragmatic had previously assigned that he believed that his master had "big plans" for Japan, so he had a strong feeling for Tamana Castle.
The heart of covet.
Originally, because Narita Kai became the master's concubine, Luo Yuan didn't have any thoughts about Tamana Castle. However, once the situation changed, the future direction of the Narita family seemed to become less certain, and he had other thoughts about Tamana Castle.
:Since you Narita family members are unreliable, it’s better to let Jinghua hold it yourself.
Although this place in Kamakura Prefecture is no longer as sensitive as it was many years ago, it is still the home of samurai warriors all over the world. Kyoka may be able to rent Misaki Castle, but it is obviously impossible to "rent" Kamakura's old Tamana Castle as well.
Otherwise, how can the martial arts family in the world get along? So he came up with such a trick of substituting the weakest and the weakest.
When Luo Yuan's report was sent to the capital, although Gao Pragmatic's first reaction was that he felt speechless, Liu Xin, as the secretary-general, thought the idea was a good one, at least it could be used as a plan.
She even said unceremoniously that Gao Pragmatic's speechlessness was essentially an overreaction to the "right of surname". In other words, she believed that her bastard who didn't exist yet should not change his surname for Yusheng City - even if it was just a transition.
Not even for a moment. Liu Xin thought this was "very impractical", so she put forward three reasons in an attempt to convince Gao Pragmatic.
The first reason is that even if Narita Kai gives birth to a son in the future, he will only be a bastard, and a bastard has no status in the Ming Dynasty. Not to mention the Ming Dynasty, which attaches great importance to family background, all Chinese dynasties have attached great importance to the distinction between legitimate concubines and concubines, such as
Li Yuan, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, actually had 22 sons, but only four legitimate sons had the chance to inherit the throne. Since Xuanba died young, only Jiancheng, Shimin, and Yuanji were eligible to compete for the throne, and the other sons appeared in the history books.
Opportunities are hard to come by.
So according to the tradition of the Ming Dynasty, no matter how big Gao Jingshi's family fortune is in the future, it will ultimately belong to the eldest son alone. Even if Gao Yuan has a younger brother, it will be difficult for him to get a share of the pie, let alone a younger brother?
In this case, this concubine made a small sacrifice in exchange for the Kamakura Jade Rope Castle, which is of great political significance for the Gao family. In turn, it will also be beneficial to his future status in the family. Why not
Why?
The second reason is that Japanese customs and habits fully approve of such an operation, which can prevent the Narita family retainers and even the people from resisting it, allowing Jinghua to easily use such simple political means to control a sensitive person.
And important areas are included in the pocket. Isn't this your favorite political conquest, Gao Situ?
Not only did the Narita family have nothing to say, but even the Japanese court and Toyotomi Kōki could not find any reason to object to this. After all, Narita Kai's bloodline is clear, and her son's change of Miao name to inherit the Narita family's name and property belongs to the Narita family.
Matter, in Japan, a country where "my vassals are not my vassals", outsiders have no right to comment on this.
As for the third reason, that is the identification of the relationship between "surname" and "Miao". Later Japanese people used the Miao character as their surname, based on Emperor Meiji's "Order on the Must Name of Miao". However, in Japan at this moment,
It is not certain whether the Miao character counts as a surname.
For example, in the original history, how was Toyotomi Hideyoshi called Toyotomi Hideyoshi in the "Taira Edict" issued by Bingxu in the intercalary month of the 27th year of Wanli? "Belongs to the Dongyi clown Taira Hideyoshi" - see clearly, it is Taira Hideyoshi.
Not Toyotomi Hideyoshi!
How is it expressed later when it is mentioned that Japanese captured generals were mentioned? "...Sixty-one people including Taira Masahide were abandoned in the corpse street and spread throughout the world" - still with "Taira" as the surname
"Ping" is the "Ping clan" whose name is the same as the Minamoto clan of Minamoto no Yoritomo in the "Genpei War". It can be seen from this that the "surname" recognized in the Ming Dynasty is not a Miao character at all.
Of course, at this time, the Japanese distinction of surnames was not originally recognized by the Ming Dynasty. Take "Tokugawa Jiro Saburogen Courtchen Ieyasu" as an example. Tokugawa is a Miao character, and Ieyasu changed it himself. His family's original Miao character is Matsudaira.
"Jiro Saburo" is the proper name for the legitimate son of their family, and has nothing to do with the second or third eldest son. Ieyasu's father is also "Jiro Saburo", but in essence "Jiro Saburo" can also be counted as a Miao character; "Ieyasu" needless to say, it is just a given name.
The key lies in "source courtier". These three characters are actually divided into two words: "source" is a family name in Japan, and "courtkeeper" is a surname.
The concept of "family" has long been out of date in China, so Japan's habit of "converting" it to the Ming Dynasty will be very troublesome, and if your "courtier" is a surname, the Ming Dynasty may be confused at first glance: how to catch it
All Japanese generals have the same surname as "Courtmaster"? Have I stabbed the courtiers in the nest?
Therefore, the Ming Dynasty regarded Japanese "surnames" as their surnames, and Toyotomi Hideyoshi became "Taira Hideyoshi". The rest of the people followed the same reasoning. Anyway, the ones worth mentioning must be Minamoto, Taira, Tachibana, and so on.
One of the four nobles of the Fujiwara clan. As for Toyotomi, the Emperor of Japan originally gave it to Hideyoshi as a clan name, but... maybe the Ming Dynasty did not recognize it, and after going back in history, Hideyoshi still gave Hideyoshi his surname.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! In short, Liu Xin’s meaning is very simple: the Ming Dynasty does not recognize the Miao character at all. Even if your bastard in the future makes a Narita Miao character, it will only be useful in Japan.
, so he doesn’t even need to change his surname to Gao. You, Situ Gao, shouldn’t be so entangled in the right to have a surname. Just think that your son has chosen a name by himself.
It makes sense to say that this is true, but Gao Pragmatic also has his helplessness. He smiled bitterly and said: "How can you be so sure that Kafei will have a son as soon as she is pregnant? Can this be said accurately? If she gives birth to a daughter,
What? Even if they are Japanese, if their daughter wants to inherit the family business, it will only happen when the Narita family dies until there are no other males left, and their family has several males just from the same generation."
Unexpectedly, Liu Xin didn't care at all. She shook her head and said: "It is best for Princess Kafei to have a biological son, but the Japanese also do not reject adopted sons. Adopted sons also have the right to inherit, so if it doesn't work, you can also add another son as Princess Kafei's."
The adopted son will inherit Kamakura."
After a pause, Secretary-General Liu suddenly couldn't help but chuckle, and said half-jokingly: "So from this point of view, my boss, your task of giving birth to a son is currently a bit low. As the Secretary-General of Jinghua, I have
Take responsibility and give advice seriously..."
"What's the point of just admonishing?" Gao Pragmatic rolled his eyes: "Why don't the Secretary-General sacrifice his ego?"
Liu Xinyu's face turned bright, she turned her head and quickly stood up and said: "Since my boss has no other objections to this matter, I will reply to Luo Yuan first and ask him to arrange for Princess Jia Fei to come to Beijing as soon as possible." After that, don't be too pragmatic and talk more.
, fled away like flying.
